Join the IAAM for a zoom conversation with Drew Levanti about how electional astrology, magic, desire, and sex positivity can intersect.
This conversation opens with a challenge. What if we don’t want to wait until Venus is in Taurus, Libra or Pisces?
Can we engage with electional astrology to attract the divinity of the erotic when these ideal conditions are not present? Or are we wasting our time, or even putting ourselves in harm’s way?
Over the past two years, Drew has performed experiments exploring this question, and will now share the results. With a light heart, Drew will explore electional charts that appear offbeat from a magical perspective, asking what powers may be available outside the standard dignities commonly sought in electional protocols.
One important discovery - reception, a condition formed when a planet aspects or conjoins its ruler - manifested powerful effects in erotic elections of Venus.
Sharing stories of life as a queer person in San Francisco, Drew will present a pair of electional charts, alongside the adventures that unfolded, speculating on the magical outcomes reception and other chart configurations might offer.
Sexuality, the erotic, the illicit, the Dionysian and queer experiences will be discussed openly and joyfully.
Everyone is welcome to attend - regardless of sexual identity, practice or expression. This will be a groundbreaking talk in which the principles of electional astrology and astrological magic are brought into dialogue with emerging and evolving dynamics in the sex positive sub-cultures within the queer community.
